The Chennai city police have assigned 70 policewomen to provide counselling to victims in sexual assault cases (POCSO cases), under a scheme called Thozhi.
There are 35 all-woman police stations in Chennai, and each police station will have two policewomen assigned for the Thozhi scheme.
They will keep track of the POCSO case victims, apart from giving them counselling and all possible assistance to them.
They will be provided pink saris embedded with Nirbhaya logo as a mark of safety.
